Izakaya Matsu

Japanese Restaurant at Azeka Makai Kihei

Izakaya Matsu was a small Japanese restaurant in the Azeka Makai shopping center in Kihei. It CLOSED in 2018. It was at 1280 South Kihei Road. Phone 808-874-0990.

This restaurant served Maui’s most traditional Japanese food. It was only open for dinner. An izakaya is a Japanese tavern that serves tapas-like Japanese dishes. The menu is long and varied, arranged into these parts: Salads, Sushi-Sashimi, Deep Fried, Roasted-Grilled, Bowls, Noodles, Combination, Ala Carte, Desserts, and Kids Meal. A few daily specials are also posted on the wall. There are many items on the menu that I have not seen anywhere else, and everything I tasted was delicious. (I didn’t try the sushi, since that is not what this restaurant is known for.)

Izakaya matsu was small, containing only about six tables with twenty seats, plus about ten seats at the sushi bar. All seats are indoors. Service is efficient and friendly, even though the staff (one waitress) does not speak much English.
